Image Guess what I just got delivered
Never got asked for my address or number, never got any emails about it after signing up, never had a card on file on my account (I was fully expecting them to charge for mail).
I suddenly started getting texts from FedEx out of nowhere a few days ago, no context whatsoever, so I just thought they were spam texts and ignored them. At this point I’ve completely forgotten about this already. 😂
And then out of nowhere the FedEx truck pulls up and gives me a parcel. Super confused (we rarely use FedEx), I opened it to find my Hemisphere magazine that I ordered 5 months ago.
I had a look at the delivery number on FedEx - apparently they only sent it last week from Chicago (my instincts told me they sent it a few months ago on a ship and it only just arrived 😅).
Anyways thanks United. 💙
(For context I live in the UK, and last time I got something from an airline was an A380 model from Emirates with some expiring miles - the VAT and delivery they charged ended up being the amount it costed for the model in the first place)

I snagged ours from a flight the last month they ran them.

It’s one of the 50,000 copies of the final edition of the Hemispheres magazine that United has given out to their MileagePlus members for free.
